When Craig MacTavish scouted an early December game between his old college team of UMass-Lowell and the University of Massachusetts at the Mullins Center, he said that he really didn't miss coaching, but that he supposed he could get back into it if he wanted to.

When he watched the UMass 5-2 win over UMass-Lowell, the former Edmonton coach, mentioned T.J. Syner as one who stood out during the game. So although Syner did attend the Washington Capitals development camp this summer, perhaps the Canucks are another place he could try once his senior year at UMass has been completed.
